NEARING LAND

Here the monkeys keep the marbles for themselves : this

is indeed a foreign shore. The cantilevered housewares

of the stay-at-homes are all well-used, but polished and

kept like new. No one has a care, they all remain indoors.

The luscious green of the neighbored trees adds the

nicest touch of comradery to all this being alone. I

haven't a moment to lose either : the ships are in the

harbor, I know they're coming home, these sailors 

with their girlfriends from the distant seas.

whom we must now prepare to entertain.
